Bic Ngo, Ph.D., assistant professor and Martha Bigelow, Ph.D., associate professor (Curriculum and Instruction) received a President's Interdisciplinary Conference award from the Graduate School to convene a conference in Spring 2010. The conference addresses the question: What are the epistemological and ethical considerations in research with immigrant populations? It will engage university and community colleagues from a variety of disciplines and interests in consideration of ethics and epistemology in research practices and preparation of future researchers. Participants will focus attention on the possibilities and problematics of research with immigrant youth, adults and community members. The conference emphasizes the implications of practices in research design, data collection, analysis and writing of research that involves immigrant populations. These conversations will include concerns related to IRB as well as those that move beyond IRB.
